Luxx huffed impatiently on her laptop as if that would solve the block that was this assignment. Fucking essays. Whoever decided this was important for a music class was an absolute ass.

Marcia glanced at them wearily. Luxx wasn’t one to half ass anything, always insisting it had to be perfect, the issue came with the self criticism. Even in the short time they’d shared a dorm together, she’d figured out that they were never happy with anything they did. There was always something to improve which was great until you had assignments due that you were never happy with.

The laptop slamming shut made them jump, watching as Luxx growled into her hands.

“This is fucking ridiculous.”

“Maybe you should take a break?”

“Maybe. Or I could just finish this and be done with it. If my brain would work.”

They let out an exasperated sigh, picking up the laptop and throwing it into their bag.

“Maybe if I go to the library I’ll get this done.”

“This late? Marcia glanced at the time. Who in their right mind went to the library at 11pm on a Thursday?

“Fuck it, no one else is going to be there and it’s 24 hours for a reason.”

“You do you I guess.” Arguing with her roommate was a lost cause. Marcia just shrugged, shooting Spice a text to inform her of Luxx’s actions. If anyone could talk sense into them it was her.

Luxx swore they would get this done, ignoring that it was due the next morning. They didn’t want to take the hit and admit something was beyond them.

Thankfully the library was as empty as expected, only a few people typing at laptops looking as tired as they felt. The change in scenery helped a small bit, progress happening slowly but surely to this piece of torture their professor called coursework.

Hours seemed to pass in the blink of an eye yet agonisingly slowly. She stared down the word count like it was trying to murder her. 500 words left. That was all she needed.

Just as the focus began to stray, Luxx’s phone buzzed. The brief flash of irritation faded to a small smile as they noticed it was Spice.

Spice: u ok? marcia said u went to the libry to do an essay

Spice: libray

Spice: library? hot girls can’t spell

Luxx: you got there in the end, I’m fine just want to die over this shitty essay

Spice: due tomorrow?

Luxx: yeah, it’s evil

Spice: how long did u have to do it?

Luxx: two weeks

Spice: evil

Luxx couldn’t help but smile at her phone. At least someone got it. Spice's lack of spelling ability provided enough amusement rto finish this damn thing.

By the time they were done, there was nobody else left in the library. Luxx glanced at the clock, cringing as it read 4am. Did it really take five hours to finish this thing? How could a stupid essay have taken her this long. At least it was done.

Not like she needed to be up for an 8am class. That wasn’t a thing. Not at all.

The world seemed to want her exhausted, running off barely any sleep and wanting to commit a crime if anyone looked at her the wrong way. Luxx wanted nothing more than to curl up and sleep for the weekend as they came out of class though knowing Marcia was with Jax in their dorm she chanced not having pda shoved down her throat and texted Spice to see if she was free.

Of course she got a text back in an instant, trusting that girl to always be on her phone.

Spice: sug is in class for a few hours, come hang out with me 🥺

Luxx: as long as no one is making out in your dorm im there

Even Spice was starting to grate on them a bit. Her relentless energy was usually fun but right now, all Luxx wanted was quiet. She grunted as Spice attempted to initiate conversation. They instantly regretted it as the black haired girl pouted, though her body didn’t seem to hold any tension or malice.

“Alright, I know what you need.”

Before they could question what that even meant and what the hell Spice was planning, she pulled them into her arms, leaning Luxx’s head on her shoulder as her hands became preoccupied stroking and being run through their head.

“If anyone else tried this I'd kill them.” She grumbled, though Spice just giggled in response.

“I know.” Spice chirped cheerfully, her relentless optimism making Luxx crack a small smile.

Thankfully Spice knew what to do. Now that she questioned it, Spice’s flipping on a dime was strange to say the least. How the hell did someone who got stressed out trying to figure out how much 3 items cost in a supermarket have so much emotional intelligence? It would be off putting if she wasn’t so warm, physically and emotionally. Seriously. Why did Spice’s cuddles always leave Luxx so relaxed? At last, their body gave in to fatigue, melting into Spice as she moved one arm to fall over Luxx’s back, circling small trails with her thumb.

It didn’t take long for Spice to notice the lack of movement in her friend. Truth be told, she’d noticed how tired Luxx looked the second their eyes met. She played dumb, knowing Luxx would end up letting her cuddle them to her heart's content and that was the easiest way to get her to rest.

—

Spice turned around as she felt a tug on her hand, Luxx looked down at the floor, as if making eye contact would make them combust.

“You think you could stay a little longer?” Her voice was quiet, tone not quite faltering but damn near close. Spice could feel the defeat in her, admitting to needing someone when she insisted she was fine alone. All the confidence and pride in the world meant nothing in that moment. Luxx finally glanced up, linking their eyes in a painful silence.

“You don’t have to. Fuck. Forget I said anything. It doesn’t matter.”

Spice didn’t speak, only moved back to Luxx’s bed and pulled them into a tight embrace. Luxx could only sit there speechless before letting themself fully relax into Spice. She was always the one to be affectionate and usually they just let her because it was fine. Not enjoyable, but fine. Right now though? She needed this. She needed Spice.

“Don’t try and deny it. You’re allowed to need someone. Let me take care of you this time.”

Something was different about Spice. Her usual thoughtless positivity was replaced by something a lot smarter. It wasn’t the first time Luxx had seen this shift, though it was the first time it was directed towards her.

She just did as Spice asked, knowing that she wouldn’t do anything wrong. Luxx let out a breath, leaning back into Spice as she pulled them down further into her arms. Somehow, only now did they notice how strong she could be. She always seemed so gentle and soft, someone Luxx wanted nothing more than to protect from anything and everything bad in the world.

Maybe it was the exhaustion, or the emotional vulnerability. But something felt different. There was an unspoken lack of boundaries, Spice content for whatever Luxx chose to do, letting her take control of the situation with a warm smile when she burrowed against her.

Luxx’s hands idly ran up and down Spice’s arms, that stayed wrapped around her waist. Soft hums accompanied the action, the black haired girl melting at the contact, squeezing them ever so tighter.

Something started to bubble up, threatening to break out of Luxx at any point. She hesitated, eyes darting down when Spice cocked her head to the side, analysing the sudden shift in their expression.

So many things she was trying to repress threatened to spill out. Her chest tightened, heart beginning to thud when things started to make sense and all of her awareness was placed squarely in the current situation.

“You’re so perfect.”

Luxx felt their body convulse as Spice spoke, stroking their hair away from their eyes as it fell in their face.

“You don’t have to be. I know you always want to be, but you are without even trying.” She continued, smiling softly as Luxx raised an eyebrow at her.

“You have everything anyone would ever need. You’re smart, pretty, you don’t let people step over you. Don’t think you have to work yourself to the brink just to be good enough. You are just by being you.” Spice’s tone was so genuine, dripping with so much affection when her eyes never left Luxx that they wondered if she’d been possessed. They wondered if this side of her was fleeting, if she’d be back to the girl who couldn’t sit for more than five minutes without mentioning dolls or getting sidetracked by the first interesting thing someone mentioned.

Spice’s presence was enough to put her at ease, Luxx just let out an agreeing hum into her chest, not quite trusting herself to speak. A warmth washed over her, replaying the sheer factual way Spice complimented her, like it was an everyday thing to comment positively on every aspect of someone’s being.

Sure, people called her pretty. People tried to flirt and lather Luxx with compliments they would shake off or just plain agree with. But the way Spice said it? Something deep within them melted when those sweet words came from her.

Time passed, soft whispers were exchanged between the two occasionally. Luxx’s brain was swimming, half asleep and wishing she could project her thoughts into Spice’s head without having to say a word.

“I love you.”

Before realisation could hit, Luxx had fallen asleep, leaving Spice reeling and ready to lose her mind over three little words. That’s a problem for another day though, Luxx finally resting was more important and sleeping with them in her arms was something she just wanted to enjoy for as long as possible.

STOP OK ILY when ever u write I can feel my chakras aligning, my skin clearing, my essays being written 😮‍💨😮‍💨especially ace fics 😮‍💨 so could we get one where ace uses his devil fruit to make his fingers warm and fingers reader at a party (she is wearing a skirt to hide it) and maybe she could sit on his lap and cock warm him (skirt covering everything ofc) hehehe thanks!

Omg hi no stop ily! Your comments always make me cackle. The monkey sounds one literally sent me into orbit! literally deceased!!!!!!!!

Gifts

(NSFW)

Warning: fingering, public sex, cockwarming, teasing

Summary: after being persuaded by Ace to attend your first Strawhat party, you finally understood the rave about it but not for reasons everyone else would thing.

Word Count: 1,100

________________________________________

You weren’t personally familiar with a strawhat party but boy did you hear of them. Ace had insisted you tag along with him and your crew to his brothers party and at first you didn’t understand why. You weren’t the most social of your crew; heck you still struggled to remember all their names let alone a whole other crew. But Ace insisted he had gifts for you that evening; you couldn’t turn that down.

You sat, drink in hand, next to the swordsman; knowing he would be the least willing to engage in conversation. You both sat there watching the party; both your crews in an awkward crossfire of dance moves around the fire. Ace pulled up a chair on the other side of you, leaning forward, his arms on his thighs; watching you. “So, what do you think?” he questioned, ignoring the loud clash as his brother hit the floor. “It’s… interesting” you mumbled, leaning back in your chair. Zoro scoffed “that’s being polite…” Ace shot him a questioning look before returning back to you. “How about you come and sit with us for a while?” He gestured to the table of mixed crews over in the corner, rising from his place “I have a few of my gifts over there for you”. Your attention was grabbed at the promise of a gift, rising from your spot. “I’ll see you later, Zero”. Ace chuckled, mumbling into your ear “it’s Zoro”. You flushed your face, embarrassed “sorry… Zoro”. Ace wrapped an arm around you, chuckling, leading you over to the table.

He gestured for Marco to move aside, squishing you in between him and Ace. He went back to talking to the people around you both, leaving you to sit there for a while, sipping until your drink was empty, wondering what you gift would be. Ace eyes flickered back to you, leaning into you to whisper in your ear “ya know, you look so good tonight”. Your breathed hitched in your throat, his fingers began gliding up your thigh. “In your short little skirt; and matching silk panties I bet, too…” he gripped into your thigh. Your eyes moved around the room, nervous that people could pry on your conversation. He chuckled, watching your tense expression “just relax, baby, I’m about to give you your first gift”. You looked over at him, studying his coy grin, his hand moving up towards your core. His fingers started to warm up, creating a wonderfully relaxed feeling as his fingers hovered above you. You shifted your weight as his fingers dipped down between your folds, pulling your panties to the side. You gasped as he slid his fingers inside your hole, looking away from him. You gripped into his arm as he started to rock his fingers deeper inside you, his fingers warm against your walls. “Mmm, so wet for me… good girl… stay quiet too, yeah?” He mumbled before turning back to his conversation. His fingers curled up inside you, rubbing deep against you. You shut your eyes, letting out a long shaky breath to compose yourself; hoping nobody would notice Ace’s hand under the table. His wrist began to move fast; rocking his fingers in a beckoning motion. You gripped into his arm tighter, holding in your cries; your legs shaking. His pace sped up, the talk of the table silencing cruel wet sounds that came from your legs. Ace leaned back over to you, noticing your shaking physique “you’re doing so good for me”. You opened up your eyes, making contact with the archeologist from the Strawhats across from you. She cocked her head at you, aware of your unusual behaviour “are you alright?” Before you had a chance to speak, Ace picked you up, his hand leaving your pussy, lifting you onto his lap “she’s okay, just a little nervous. Aren’t you?” You nodded, not knowing how sound would be possible right now. He kissed your shoulder, letting you come down, your shaking body easing as you rest in his arms. You both notice her attention shifting from you both; Ace letting out a sigh behind you. His fingers went back to your skirt, positioning it up around your waist “man, that was close. I thought she was going to catch us”.

You tried to protest against him, yelling at him for trying to do something so risky again, but was cut off from his cock sliding up into you. You let out a soft gasp, gripping into the table in front of you, holding yourself still. You hadn’t noticed his other hand freeing his semi-hard cock when he was playing with your own pussy; easily connecting you both as soon as you sat on him. His hands fell to your waist, rocking you gently against him, allowing him to sink deeper into your walls “god you’ve got such an amazing pussy” he groaned into your ear. You leaned back against him, shaking, feeling his cock pulsating inside your slick walls. He sat like this, still, his arms wrapping around your waist to hold you against him, resuming conversation with the table. You zoned out, focusing too much on the heat between your legs. It was a painfully wonderful situation you had found yourself in; your boyfriends cock nestled between your legs at a public setting. Your heart raced in your ears, excitement flooding through your veins, slowly easing into his gifts for you. You adjusted yourself, making him hitch on his words, stopping mid sentence. You let out a low chuckle, pretending it wasn’t because of your actions. He subtly bucked up, grinding his cock deeper into your cervix, making you hold back a deafening scream. You leaned forward, suddenly engaged into the conversation; trying to chime in with your own comments. His cock brushed up against your g spot, making you both whine at the sensitive spot. You both stayed like this, teasing back and forth, trying to edge each other to slip up first; wanting to win against your frustratingly hot boyfriend. He felt your walls tightening around him over time, suddenly regretting his choice of gifts.

He stopped conversing, finally sliding you off his lap, adjusting himself under the table. You took note of his actions, adjusting your skirt down to a more acceptable level. “Well, this has been fun but we should probably head off now” he shot out, edging you out of your seat, him closely following behind. His words were met with an audience of sadness, not wanting him to leave so soon. He ignored them, giving you a lustful look, walking off from the table. He gripped at your arm tight, pulling you out of the party; towards your ship “Just wait until I give you your proper gift”

rebecca watches tos: amok time

I’ve never seen this ep but ik it’s the fuck or die one

chapel is bringing spock soup, give it up chapel, ily but the man is gay

I bet it’s good soup though

oh ok so pon farr just straight up makes vulcans go feral and throw soup at walls

just let him go to vulcan jimothy

oh this intro is a little different! guess they changed it for season 2

“play servant to a man that is not hers” spock it’s the 23rd century she was just trying to do a nice thing for you

man idk if we’ve ever seen spock showing this much emotion in his voice, save for naked time ofc

spock, what are you holding behind your back

oh here’s chekov! I knew he existed in TOS but I wasn’t sure when he was gonna show up

guess you’re gonna miss the inauguration, bc spock’s choices are fuck or die and I don’t think anyone wants the latter

jim do not make him postpone this

ah ok spock took matters into his own hands

man how badly does pon farr fuck you up that spock could have diverted course and then forgotten about it

spock really just went “I’ve arrived in sickbay and now I will leave sickbay ✌️”

“I think I’m going to get spacesick” ok I’ve decided I like chekov

“he’ll DIE, jim” *dramatic music* *closeup on william shatner’s face* *commercial break*

spock: yes i know why i’m dying, no i won’t tell you, we exist

who tf is spock looking at

“consider that an order” I feel like using your authority to get your best friend to explain something personal to you is an abuse of power but what do I know

man how heavily guarded is this if spock’s willing to disobey a direct order in order to not explain it

oh right, biology. the biology of vulcans. the biology specifically belonging to vulcans. vulcan biology. that biology.

god spock’s so embarrassed I just want to reach through the screen and hug him

“the birds and the bees are not vulcans” yeah, it’s a metaphor, spock

jim you can’t tell me you’ve never wondered how vulcans choose their mates, given that you’re obviously in love with one

chekov and sulu have a wonderful dynamic I can already tell

spock ik the federation is a post-scarcity society and all that but that doesn’t mean you can just destroy your computer

chapel don’t just watch him sleep, that’s weird

oh ok he’s fully awake now

spock don’t come on to her

spock you’re gay

oh ok she has a first name

spock’s taking his emotional support humans down to vulcans huh

spock: she is t’pring…my wife jim, who was like 90% certain they’d been flirting for the past six months: beg pardon

did they beam down at sunset or is the vulcan sky just straight-up red

t’pring is so pretty

alright now spock’s gone full feral

“become the property of the victor” christ this is dated

I knew she was gonna pick jim but why’d she do that anyway, she definitely doesn’t want to marry him so what is it

really t’pau? insulting his heritage? fucking rude

I see jingle bells is a way of life for vulcans

ah so jim wants to make a good impression on his (however spock is related to t’pau)-in-law

spock: (holding a big axe) jim: scared_and_horny.gif

jim did not dodge that swing. spock could have sliced him in half. ripping open his shirt and exposing his titties was a deliberate decision. in this essay i will

it really says a lot about how lost in the sauce spock is that he’s attacking jim so viciously, bc he would never do that under normal circumstances

jim. jim your titties. they are bleeding.

this is the most homoerotic fighting I’ve ever seen

obv jim isn’t dead but he sure does look dead

even though ik jim is fine spock is still breaking my heart rn :(

t’pring’s logic certainly does check out

“live long and prosper, spock” “i shall do neither” :,(

spock smiling gives me so much serotonin

bones is a goddamn treasure i swear, where would the enterprise be without him

so rolling in the sand with jim and choking him broke spock out of the blood fever huh, funny how that works

“in a pig’s eye” I love Bones

good episode, always good to see something that sparked many many fanfics, and if I wasn’t already fully down for spirk this ep would probably change my mind

[maastrash]

"Just pretend to be my date "for nessian please and what did you mean by the fluff before the storm?Are you planning on breaking my heart?

The Truth Is ...

HEHE this got longer than expected! and omg dw I’ll only break it for a lil ;) Shoutout to my bff @verryberriess for helping me with this ily

Masterlist // Submit a prompt // Prompts 1 + 2 - pls write the prompt out it helps me out greatly!

Today was not Cassian’s day. All he had wanted was his favorite Starbucks cold brew so he could have the energy to study for his calculus midterm tomorrow. Math was his absolute worst subject. He could write an A worthy essay in less than an hour, but when it came to numbers he was absolutely clueless. He wanted to be in and out to give himself as much study time as possible. The gods knew he needed it, but that didn’t seem like a possibility anymore. It was just his luck that he would run into the one person he’d been trying to avoid all day - Daisy Anderson. She had been talking his ear off for the past 15 minutes, despite him saying that he had somewhere to be. She was a member of the most popular sorority at university, Alpha Phi, and had been pretty much obsessed with Cassian for the past week. He had met her at his frat party and it was clear she wanted him to ask her to be his date to the spring formal. Alpha Phi and his frat Sigma Chi were always paired for events so he was doing his best to turn her down easy. He really didn’t need awkward encounters with her at every greek life gathering. 

After another 5 minutes passed Cassian seriously didn’t know if she truly wasn’t getting the hint that he wasn’t interested or if she just didn’t care. He gave the minimum responses necessary, avoided eye contact, and kept trying to leave, unsuccessfully of course. Every time he tried,  Daisy would grab his arm or suddenly step in front of him. Apparently, there was another party tonight and she was desperately trying to convince him to go. Even if he had been free, Cassian didn’t really feel like getting to know Daisy. There was someone else who occupied his thoughts. Someone who would never like him back, but that didn’t stop him from hoping. 

Cassian was really starting to lose his patience. Just as he about to firmly tell her he was not interested, he saw her. Nesta Archeron. Her honey brown hair was loose, flowing just past her shoulders. She was wearing a navy cropped hoodie and black jeans that hugged her body perfectly. Damn. She was the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen. Before Cassian even knew what he was doing, he was up, moving, and blocking her path. 

“Hi sweetheart,” he said, pulling her into a hug.

Nesta tensed for a second before relaxing into the embrace. She hesitantly wrapped her small arms around his waist. She seemed confused, he couldn’t blame her. 

“I need you to pretend to be my date,” he whispered into her ear, as subtly as he could manage. 

“What?” she asked, pulling away.

Before she could get too far, he pulled her back in gently. “Please go along with this.” He was practically begging at this point.

Nesta nodded slightly, probably due to the pure desperation in his voice. They separated and Cassian put his arm around Nesta’s waist. “I’m so sorry Daisy, but this is my lovely date, Nesta. We’ve been seeing each other recently and it seems she came to find me after I didn’t show up.”

Daisy looked Nesta up and down, looking almost unimpressed. Cassian did not like that one bit. “Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t realize - ”

“It’s fine, but we should be going,” he said, cutting off her insincere apology. Cassian led Nesta out of the cafe with his hand on the small of her back. Once out the door, he grasped her hand gently. He told himself it was because Daisy could still see them, but deep down he knew that wasn’t the real reason. 

After walking to the end of the street Nesta pulled her hand from his. “We can stop pretending now, she can’t see us anymore.”

He nodded as he let his hand awkwardly fall to his side. “Thank you, Nesta,” he said, trying not to get lost in her piercing blue-grey eyes. “I owe you one.” 

“Whatever,” she snapped breaking eye contact and walking off.

“Wait, hold up,” Cassian ran a few steps to catch up to her. He grabbed her arm gently to keep her from running off again. “Are you mad at me?” 

“Of course I’m mad you idiot,” she pulled away from his grip again. Cassian hated to admit her rejection hurt worse than he thought it would. “I wanted to read my book in Starbucks in peace, and now I can’t.”

Cassian put his hands in his pockets, avoiding her hardened gaze. “I’m sorry Nes I’ll take you to another coffee shop and buy you a drink,” he said the words sheepishly. “It’s the least I can do.”

“Don’t call me Nes,” she grumbled. “And I think I’ll pass.”

“Ok, what’s wrong? Cassian asked, crossing his arms across his chest. “Be honest.” Nesta was never this cold to him. Maybe she was when they first met, but he thought they were past that. She had finally started to trust him enough to show him the real Nesta. The Nesta that smiled every time she saw a dog. The Nesta that saved a seat for him every Wednesday when they had chem lectures together. The Nesta that blushed when he told her how beautiful she was while making her “thinking” face. 

“Nothing,” she said, avoiding eye contact yet again. 

“I know you’re lying Nes and I’m not leaving till you tell me what’s wrong.”

“What do you want me to say Cassian?!” she asked, the frustration clear in her voice. “Fine. You really wanna know why I’m so upset? You used me. You played with my feelings. Are you happy? You finally hurt the ice queen,” 

“Nesta I-”

“No. I’m not done,” she said holding her finger up, instantly shutting him up. “I thought we were friends, maybe even more than friends,” she mumbled the last part. “But I guess I was wrong. I thought you were different. I thought you meant the things you said to me. But I guess you really are just another frat boy. A frat boy who would use me to get out of some stupid failed date with a popular sorority girl.”

Cassian was silent as Nesta caught her breath after her sudden outburst. “Can I talk now?” he asked hesitantly. She nodded, her jaw tight.

“Nesta I ran into Daisy and had been trying to get away from her so I could study for my midterm tomorrow. You came at just the right time. I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. I haven’t been playing you,” he paused, reading her reaction. She didn’t seem convinced.

Before he could regret it, Cassian laid it all out on the table. “The truth is, I am utterly captivated by you, Nesta Archeron. I haven’t thought about another girl since I met you. You are the smartest, fiercest, and strongest girl I have ever met and I can’t get you out of my head. I never thought you’d like me back so I settled for just being friends. I thought it was better than nothing. I asked you to pretend to be my date so I could hold your hand and hug you just once, even if it was pretending,” his voice tapered off at the end. He was suddenly self-conscious. What if he just ruined everything? Before he could think about it too long, Nesta interrupted his thoughts. 

“You really are an idiot,” she whispered softly, “because I’ve liked you this whole time too.

This had Cassian gaping. Nesta liked him. She actually liked him. “Can I buy you a coffee?” he asked, offering his hand. “Let me take you on a real date Nes.” 

Nesta took his hand offering a small smile. “Let’s take the coffee to go so I can help you study. We can go on a real date after your midterm.”

Cassian was practically beaming as he squeezed her hand gently. “Sounds like a plan.” 

After Cassian aced his midterm, he and Nesta did just that. And it was the best date either of them had ever been on.

[haknew]

pls talk about your thoughts about chanhee and also the other concepts!! I always have such a hard time interpreting music and videos but i love to read about it

“bestie pls share ur thoughts on make your own concepts specifically chanhee’s but any others that are ur fave too 🎤- mar”

omg mar thank you for enabling me all day today 😭🥺🧡 thenks bestie ily :,)) and thank you too anon ! i should preface that T-T i have not read any other theories or analyses so these are just my opinions / impressions but i hope it’s entertaining to read about haha :p ! (feel free @ anyone to add on or share your thoughts too ! :,))

HYUNJAE - okay so audio cues... if you listen to the beginning there’s a sound of a bomb going off before the music starts ? and that ties into the dystopian / cyborg aesthetics that jump out at me of course, but what i immediately thought of was their no air perfo ? like we know hyunjae in the no air mv got that shot where he’s laying in the bathtub filled with water but also their kingdom performance with it also had those underwater shots ! so i think it ties into that... i feel like we saw in gen z, he’s a very straightforward person he says things on his mind which can come off as blunt but he thinks it’s better than not saying it ? which is interesting bc i think that speaks to his self- determined personality, he’s much more inclined to do whatever it takes to get something done, which i think falls perfectly in line with the “make your own air” phrase that he gets, if it’s something he needs he makes it himself, in a situational sense methinks u.u 

 JUYEON - JUYEON’S DJSKHDG i’m waiting for dri’s essay but in essence we see the gen z “juyeon is not such a good boy” shot and these text bubbles that pop up that say “sexy” “you so hot” “such a bad boy” and tbh i like this ‘concept’ ? for him better than his gen z one ? it’s not bc of the concept itself but i like the idea that he can “make your own character” as in he has the capability and power to be whoever he wants to ! you see him throwing white paint at the gen z canvas and i think ?! that’s symbolic of like a fresh canvas ! of remaking himself to whatever he wants bc the canvas is now blank again thanks to the white paint and flowers usually indicate spring ? so renewal and stuff like that ! i really like his, it’s also fun word play on “character” which has been juyeon’s intro in tbz (bc his name sounds like main character in korean) but yea :o ! i really love his the idea he can just repaint / paint over a literal image of him gives it the possibility of becoming smth new and that’s so so cool

CHANGMIN - SCREEEEECH okie um oh boy um *windows shutting down noises* this was so so so very different from his gen z stuff but i actually think BOTH are equally perfect for him ? the way that he set up the sparklers and neon lights on this very obviously trashy and kind of rundown rooftop with the cityline behind him is so ?!?!? LITERALLY making his own stage as his tagline goes, sort of like how the physical stage itself does not matter but rather it’s changmin himself that makes the stage special ! i talked about this in gabi’s set that i rbed ;-;/ but changmin puts a lot A LOT of stake in his position as a dancer it means almost everything to him as a form of expression from what i can see ? so he’s always trying his best to put forward the best performance possible and seeing this segment makes me feel like he’s doing just that ! pouring himself into it to make his stage pls i care him 

HAKNYEON - god i’m a jusadan but just u.u rest in peace me, i’ll ... T_T be kind of honest this one confuses me a little ? i have assumptions and i feel like i know ... quite a bit about haknyeon (LMAO) my best guess is it has smth to do with self assurance ...? the way he’s framed and the fact that he’s sitting on a bed in the middle of a church surrounded by candles gives me christ figure symbolism (where my ap english takers at :/) and the light that perfectly frames him in a halo gives me angel vibes too, but the tagline of “make your own romance” paired with him kissing his reflection makes me think it’s about self love ;;;; from what i can tell haknyeon has always been someone who really likes feeling validated and praised for the stuff he does well, which he does for himself a lot of the times too ! but sometimes i think the self assurances he compliments himself with is more for reassuring himself rather than bragging (which i think people misinterpret) so it’s more about becoming the person he wants to fully love and being happie with himself which *tears* i might be reading too much into who knows i just love him ok ... U.U 

KEBINNN - i know !!! dri mentioned this in my gifset tags but ! kev on kpop daebak (? was it) or smth mentioned how he strives to keep a childlike wonderment for the world around him, which is a reason why i think he loves drawing and sound / music production, he talked in a fancafe post once about an artist who turned mediocre everyday objects into art and he said he really loves that sense of wonderment so peter pan who “never grows up” is actually perfect for his worldview ahhhh T^T also kev really likes disney lmao, the way he’s doing this outside in this “neverland” garden on a balcony which is a part of this very typical apartment backed by a typical city bg also i believe ties into this turning a mediocre everyday thing into smth wonderful through his sense of childlike wonderment and his tagline of “make your own fantasy” (i also care him a lot this concept >>>>>>) and keeps to his referencing movie plotlines like he did in gen z jddkfj

SUNWOO - i also mentioned this in my tags on sunu’s set but this gives me 100 degrees vibes which i still to this day think is one of the most “sunwoo” vibe things ever, it’s a lot of him having fun and doing his own thing, and mixes both more mature and youthful aspects together in a way that i’d only ever describe as sunwoo vibes LMAO like the roller skating around and all the soap bubbles ! cute and youthful ! the crop top and celine wasitband (don’t laugh at me we all noticed) more mature and a callback to his gen z look methinks U.u, think sunwoo has always been a more go-with-the-flow or do whatever he feels like doing sort of person and so “make your own vibe” fits well with him in that sense to me 

SANGYEON - .... *silence* *more windows shutting down noises* *jess.exe has stopped working* OKAY i feel like ! sangyeon’s is also more self explanatory :p i love the juxtaposition of boxing AND the arcade type fighter games ?? like both require very different sets of skills i feel like one is more physical the other is more mental ? but both require adapting to changes whether in the game or the boxing ring which as leader sangyeon would know a lot about, esp being flexible and quick to respond to different situations, and the “make your own glory” i feel is maybe more on the nose, but tbz are this man’s pride and joy you can see it literally anywhere and for him, as leader, to have made it this far with tbz, winning rtk and building their popularity through their hard work and efforts really is building his own glory and i just HHHHHHHHHH

YES EYYSFDHSHF CHANHEE YES - i said it in the tags of my srb before deleting it so i’ll just repeat it here but CHOI CHANHEE !!!!! this detail i didn’t quite process first watch was the continuous flashing of lights in all his scenes, like ... from the shots and the set it looks REALLY empty ?? but the flashing seems to indicate cameras and photos being taken of him despite there being no people we can really see in any of the shots ? WHICH IS SO COOL i think the implication is like “all eyes on him” type which SO TRU i love that idea, like i said the walking past the wedding dresses ? v heavily implies fashion designer which i think you mentioned mar :o ! and i see it in the sense of his tagline “make your own stereotype” bc white wedding dresses are the very traditional / typical choice and obviously feminine in stereotypes, whereas chanhee is wearing a SUIT which is all black in a very clean b/w set with no color which i feel is very stereotypically MASCULINE and the glasses too, it’s such an interesting contrast of his “stereotypically feminine” features (in my view) with very masculine symbols, like glasses we usually associate with more soft hearted / meek stereotypes ? but the geometric shape of the windows and again his suit seems to indicate the very opposite ? it’s a mixing of stereotypes which i think is the point, by putting those together he quite literally makes his own stereotype and puts on the crown while the cameras continue flashing while pointed at him AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

YOUNGHOON - okie might have less to say about this one :o i feel like both hak’s and younghoon’s i don’t see the connections quite as readily but ! i think it’s interesting that his tagline is “make your own classic” but then in the scenes itself he has a flip phone ??? with an antenna (okay boomer /j JDHFKFG JK PLS) and a teddy bear while in PERIOD stylized clothing and setting where those two things are more modern / contemporary in origin (but also not modern enough bc ,,, it’s a flip phone LOL) like 90s kid vibes ? you know but as an emperor in the joseon era haha :p while eating shrimp chips and reading a (comic ?) book, like idk too much of what it means but it’s a cool dichotomy LOL, think it might also tie into actor ! hoon bc it’s make your own classic and i think acting has become a very important aspect to him :o after seeing what he’s capable of in love revolution and his atbz video so it’s interesting u.u (need help w/ this one)

JACOB - think my explanation in han’s set’s tags didn’t really make sense so lemme ... reexplain LOL,,, so ! similar to his gen z video ? like he’s talked about how difficult it is to open up about his own feelings etc. and he said it’s less bc he realizes he needs to but rather just to make other people feel more comfortable when it comes to understanding him, and like the whole breaking the mirror with his reflection in the wanna be angry jacob, it’s about freeing himself to the point he can express the emotions he wants to ! in gen z it was about being able to be angry when he felt that way instead of being tied by his image of being just nice ? and in the video with his pilot uniform not only does he control the ride but he also rides on it himself ! quite literally making his own freedom (symbolically), a sort of realizing he can free himself ? from what’s been tying him down and i think the really big smile he has while riding it just comes to show how he wants to feel :,))) (jacob bae i care you) 

ERIC - last one :p AHHH this is one of my favs too, the quite literal “make your own pride” I LOVE IT ! sooo i think the biggest takeaway i got was that of course in this video his “pride” is symbolized by the hot pink car (that he’s going to pick up his christmassy date in of course u.u if he has a license which he does n- his driver’s license in this was literally his aaa / boy version of reveal photo which in no dmv anywhere would a license picture be allowed to look that good-) and LITERALLY when he finished and takes it for a joy ride while sitting on the roof he’s STILL covered in the dirt and grime stains ! from working on it ! which i think is so symbolic ! it’s my favorite detail actually, he literally put sweat into this car which is his pride and now that he’s finally riding around in it, it feels accomplishing ! his pride ! love that, also when he’s grabbing a stub from that flyer i noticed he chose “youth” over the others (which was like .... ca$h, beauty, ice cream, hamburger...) which i think also just indicates that despite all this hard work he put in he still cherishes his youth and still lets that be a huge part of who he is (i mean pink car so of course) so idk i think it’s very neat go bestie mwah

[juupajaa]

hey!! I saw your post abt being open to giving advice and I was wondering if you have any tips on getting back into the school mindset™️. mostly just about overcoming procrastination? also ily and hope things are going great for you bby 💕💗💓💞

❤Hey things are going great thanks!! Ok let's do this!! ❤

So first things first, you gotta take care of yourself before you can get anything done. Pay attention to your sleep schedule and make sure you sleep enough and feel good about waking up. Also, eat something ffs. Drink something. You're not getting anything done while tired, hungry and dehydrated.

Getting back into School Mode is hard, but little things like buying a new cool pen or notebook can really give you a boost. Also, doing your homework will make you more comfortable at school and give you a massive boost in your confidence. The thing is... I hate homework.

Doing homework can be fecking tedious at times but u know what I did? I gave my sister a video call and we talked until I had done my homework. If you've friends or siblings or whoever you can call, it can really make it easier to get through homework if someone's doing it with you and I noticed I learned better when I did homework with my sister. Once you start doing homework, you'll feel better about going to class bc you come prepared and you're doing better than the slackers at the back of the class.

Speaking of that, if you can choose where you sit in the classroom try the front seat. I mean it, just try it. I used to sit in the back for the longest time until one day I realized that I can't hear anything anymore so I moved to the front and u know what? Legit, the best seat in the house. The teachers don't give a damn about the front row, they're always keeping an eye on what's going on in the back. Also, you can hear and focus a lot better if you sit up front bc all the noisy people are behind you and the teacher right in front of you. Also, if you know an answer to a question your teacher asks, fecking answer it. Raise your hand the feck up and tell it like it is.

Sometimes it gets really crowded in school life and you have like a billion exams, essays, assignments, presentations and homework to do. When that happens the easiest way to not freak out and give up is to make a to do list. Make it for a whole week if you have to. Write down every task in the order that they have to be returned/done. Do the most urgent things first and don't stress too much about them. Then do the easy things and lastly take on the ones that you might need emotional support for and don't be afraid to ask for it if you can't get through them on your own. Take breaks, don't try to get everything done in one day and for the love of god remember to compliment and reward yourself when you get to scratch one task off of your list.

Now let's talk about assignments!

When you get an assignment, the first step is to write down the due date. If you use your phone's calendar, mark down thw date and if you're very bad at checking your calendar, put down another alarm for week prior to your due date, so you remember that you have to actually do something.

Second step is to write down the instructions. Whatever assignment you've given, write the instructions down on paper, maybe your notebook. You don't have to know what you're doing yet, just make sure you know the instructions right away so it's not all brand new when you eventually start working on the assignment.

Ok so now you've slacked off for a few weeks and your alarm goes off. Oh feck u have the assignment due in a week. Well at least you had a heads up. You don't feel like doing it yet bc you've still a week left. How about you do the smallest thing imaginable? Open your laptop and open that new file. No need to even name it yet, just leave it open and go watch TV or something. Before you go to bed, check that empty file again and if you have any ideas as to what you should write on it, just spam them on there. Eye through the instructions again if they're not very fresh in your memory. Write the main topic on the file too, so it's always there. I recently had an essay to write and the topic had several questions that needed answers, so I wrote them all on the file and gave a rough short answer to all of them and that was pretty much my rough first draft. Ok now go to bed, but save the file first.

The next day you might not feel like doing anything but keep the file open just in case. At some point you will start to feel like you really need to write that shit down, and thankfully, your file is still right there, you dont even have to open it. Do the best you can. It doesn't have to be perfect and you don't have to give your arm for this stupid fecking assignment, but you have to finish it.

This was a long ass answer but hopefully it was worth it! Remember, school is not worth a burnout, no matter how much it tries to be 😎😎😎 Health always comes first.

bookstore, knitting, and cozy for the cozy asks!!!

jj ILY and im SO SORRY im only JUST getting to this sbfjks im terrible!!!!!!

OK SO

bookstore: favorite childhood book?

hm. i guess this depends on like what u qualify as childhood book?? ill give three from three different eras of Childhood

Goodnight Moon, Margaret Wise Brown- this was the baby book my parents read to me almost nightly when i was a baby, and my mom can probably recite it by memory at this point..... its so sweet and gentle

Nate the Great Saves the King of Sweden, Marjorie Weinman Sharmat, Marc Simont: I counted this as my first “real chapter book” that I read by myself as a kid, and as such was my self professed favorite book for many years on sentimentality alone. I don’t remember much of the plot anymore, but to the best of my recollection it was about a young aspiring detective (Nate) who happened to discover the king of Sweden hidden in a basement cupboard at his friend’s after she gets back from vacation.......... or something

The Last Olympian, Rick Riordan: to absolutely no one’s surprise, i was a HUGE percy jackson stan in elementary and middle school, and this (the fifth and final book in the percy jackson and the olympians series) held and will always hold a special place in my heart. that being said, I’m due for an all encompassing reread of a like 15 book series. most of which i already own. I have no shame.

knitting: what’s a hobby that you would like to start?

tbh not to be ironic but i’d love to learn how to knit- it seems to practical and fun and relaxing and i really love scarves and sweaters and gloves SO

but also i REALLY want to learn to play a musical instrument; ideally and predictably guitar, piano, ukulele, or drums 

uhhh i did martial arts for like 6 years in middle/high school and kind of miss that though im REALLY out of practice

and the sentimental artist in me loves ballet and misses it from when i danced when i was like 8 but like... that’s never going to happen so

cozy: favorite gift you’ve ever received?

hm. 

a target basket

ok story time bkdjvbkfjvb

so i did theatre in high school- like a LOT of theatre- and the theatre teacher/ artistic director/ director of shows was, as most theater teachers are, Quirky. 

one of her (many) quirks was that she would carry all of her things everyday in a Harris Teeter grocery basket (for the followers who aren’t from south eastern USA/ areas where harris teeters don’t exist- they’re pretty standard grocery stores (owned by Kroger now) and the baskets are the green rectangular plastic ones youre supposed to use in the store if you’re only picking up a few items, but you’re NOT supposed to bring home) 

but yeah she carried all her shit in a plastic basket- her purse, keys, water bottle, laptop, food, script, etc. Everything!! and there were always a couple other baskets floating around the classroom and the auditorium- especially during a show- that had scripts and other assorted shit stored in them. it was just a staple of life in the department and no one knew WHY she had them or why she used them or how she got them. it just was

so my senior year roles around and as a senior theatre student im lucky enough to get the opportunity to assistant direct our spring musical- the sound of music!- alongside my teacher, the chorus teacher, and another student (PLEASE dm me about questions about this, it was one of the best experiences of my life and i will literally never shut up about it if given the chance) 

and about halfway through rehearsals, a friend of mine (we’ll call her Sarah for anonymity’s sake) joked that i was acting like a mini version of our teacher; which, while accurate, was annoying in the way it is when someone say’s youre acting like your mom. like “yeah OK fine!! you dont have to Say It” bc in a lot of ways our theatre teacher was like our school mom. in the good ways and the bad ways. 

and so Sarah joked that i was just like her, and all i was missing was her infamous basket

and i swear i saw the idea enter her brain

Sarah: I’m going to steal you a harris teeter basket for closing night gifts*!!

me: wtf no don’t do that

s: yes only no i know i’ll steal you a TARGET one bc youre a CLASSY bitch

m: literally Do Not steal me a basket

s: too bad!!!

[*- closing night gifts are when designers/technicians/stage managers get gifts for the production team (directors, musical director, SMs, etc) as a Thank You gift, Sarah took them Incredibly Seriously]

so flash forward like another month, and it’s closing night of the show, and im emo af and trying not to show it, bc im a senior and this show was my baby in a lot of ways, and this was the last show i was going to be working in the auditorium at my school, like, ever, and it was the last show i would ever work with a lot of my friends, so yeah. so, obviously, i was running around backstage like a chicken with it’s head cut off, putting out fires and trying to be useful

and it’s like an hour, maybe, before the show starts and Sarah walks into the green room (a room backstage where actors stay when they’re not in the dressing rooms/ backstage/ onstage, and bc its an hour before closing night, its a mad house) 

and im talking to somebody in the greenroom, and at this point i haven’t forgotten her threat that she was going to steal me a basket, but we haven’t talked about it since the original discussion, and ive been hoping that SHE’S forgotten about it. and so bc im working and talking to someone, at first i don’t really see Sarah come in, i notice her out of the corner of my eye, and i don’t really realize what i see at first, and then my head whips around and there she is.

grinning all smug like the cat that ate the canary.

and she’s holding a target basket, of course.

and at that point its all too much and like a combination of the love i have for the show and all the grief that it’s ending and like im so Touched that she put in the thought and work and energy to get me this gift and im also like irritated just a little bc i told her Not To and OF COURSE she does it anyway and as a combination of everything i just kind of crumple to the ground in a combination of laughing and crying and i dont even know which im doing or which i did first 

and im sure half the cast thought i lost my fucking mind bc i was just kneeling on the greenroom floor like cradling a target basket and laughing hysterically and sobbing

and then we had to do the show!

but all jokes aside, it’s surprisingly functional and useful and i use it pretty regularly

and as a bonus people are always confused by it bc im carrying around a target basket in random places, so that’s a bonus

jj ilysm thank for the ask im sorry this was an ESSAY

send me a cozy ask!!

[klarolinedrabbles]

So kenji is definitely my fave. He seems like a carefree dork, but he’s extremely layered and I love that about a character. How they can be cheerful and fun, but also really intense. I don’t get how someone could ship Adam/Juliette cause imo there’s no substance. They would work better as friends imo. I just feel like their “ILYs” are really hollow. Still waiting on feeling anything good about Warner. This Omega place is reminding me of The Host book by stephenie meyer.

I can’t believe Adam basically had castle break up with Juliette for him. I’m just astounded by his cowardice. I’m probably being mean and not looking at the picture as a whole, but I still think it’s shitty of him to not talk to her in private and explain what’s happening. Instead he asked castle to do it all instead 🙄. He’s just sitting there not even looking at her. I’m sure it’s painful and impossible for him, but Juliette at least deserves eye contact.

My poor Juliette. She’s so damn depressed and just seems to hate herself and all I want to do is give her a big hug 😭.

Warner and Adam are brothers?! What kind of soap opera shit is this? Lmao I swear to god if there’s an evil twin or a “back from the dead” moment I’m gonna die 😂.

Damn Warner snuck up on me. I didn’t think I would like him at all, but damn if I’m not a suck for the tortured souls lol. I just hope he stops being stupid and fights with omega instead of against them. Also I almost stopped reading cause kenji almost died and he is my son and I will protect him at all costs lol. I am definitely enjoying this series. Still a few things that irk me, but I love these characters too much to let it bother me.

I’m about to start ignite me. Kenji better be ok. Juliette taking control and no longer hating her power is so beautiful and I am here for her kicking ass. Warner…I love a real asshole lol. Adam is just…idk he’s nice and all, but I don’t have strong feelings for him one way of the other. I don’t know if I ship J&W yet, but their make out session in unravel me had way more chemistry than anything between her and Adam imo. Just staring at each other sparks start flying 😂

Thank fuck they finally explained that child torture thing. For 3 books now every time I started to feel soft on Warner and think he and Juliette could be ship worthy I kept thinking “yeah, but he tortured a toddler” and then I would feel horrible. I’m just so happy he’s a normal ahole now. I can totally ship Juliette with a normal asshole 😂

“I was happier when I thought she was dead” ok Adam can officially fuck off. I was staying neutral and making excuses for his shit behavior because he’s heartbroken and scared, but that was the definition of uncalled for. Why is it always the “nice guys” that become the meanest bitches when they’re angry/hurt?

Ok so ignite is done and onto restore me. Have to say character wise I was happy with the ending of that trilogy. Juliette finally embraced her powers and was no longer afraid. She gained control of her life. It was a decent ending that way, but plot wise I found it kind of underwhelming. It all happened so fast and everyone lived so the stakes were kind of a non-issue. I felt the previous book had a better ending plot wise. This just felt lackluster imo. Glad she’s continuing the series.

Holy shit dude that ending. I loved the twist about Juliette being Ella and she actually was born into the role like Warner and the others. Kenji better be ok. I have no doubt Warner will be ok, but I swear to god if something happens to kenji I’m gonna rage. Restore me was at a whole other level. It was so good. I loved the newbies (Naz mostly). I’m so excited for more…and now the waiting game.

Can I just say that I absolutely ADORE that you kept me posted and what not with all your thoughts and feelings? Seriously, it means so much. I love this series to pieces, and I just love when people come to talk about it with me. 

BUT OKAY, SEE? I TOLD YOU TO GIVE WARNER A MINUTE. I love him so much. Idk, I think there’s a degree to his unapologetic nature that is just right. It’s not so much that I don’t want to root for him. He knows very well how he comes across, and intends to. He has an advantage where he can sense whether being anything other than that is worth it, and what not. It all flows properly, imo. I’ve seen instances where that type of behavior is too much, but Tahereh nails it with Warner. AND HE’S JUST SO LOVING, AND BEAUTIFULLY PROFOUND ONCE HE GETS TO SPEAK HIS MIND. I JUST---MY LOVEEEE. 

Juliette breaks my heart so much of the time in the series. I was so overjoyed when she finally put her foot down and realized for the first time what it was to know who she was, and who she wanted to be. 

And okay, RIGHT? Like I loved Ignite Me the most of all the books. But I just wanted sooooooo much more when I finished it, and couldn’t believe that was it. I went four years thinking that was it. And then wonderfully Tahereh announced a sequel series and I was overjoyed. I thought Restore Me was fantastic, I word-vomited a whole ass essay on why, here. And also Tahereh said Kenji is fine in an Instagram live she did. I typed up the summary for the @warnettework, which you can find here! OKAY, NOW READ EVERYTHING TAHEREH SAID POST THE RESTORE ME RELASE IN THE POST I LINKED, AND THEN COME BACK SO WE CAN DISCUSS.
